If the Ghost shrimp are if good size and you have plenty of hiding spots.Moss etc they may be ok.I have a friend who keeps Bolivians with ghost shrimp.You never see any baby shrimp but the Adults seem to do fine.Though they hide most of the time lol

Saying that I do think 10 gallons is a bit small for the 2 species.

True, but usually, people buy 50-100 shrimp because they are hard to see. You will barely see 10 so yeah:/

Hmmm. Well I just have the ghost shrimp because my gf give me her tank and I put all her other fish in my main tank. But if I put the shrim in there so you think the 2 brs would be okay in a ten?

To be honest I think your minimum tank size would be a 20 for a pair if Bolivians to be comfortable.

Shellies would be perfect. A pair will likely breed if provided with shells, sand (or small gravel), and a relatively high pH, which will give you a nice colony. Most Neolamprologus species (multis, caudopunctatus, ocellatus, brevis, and others) would work very well and display VERY interesting behavior.
They are Tangynikan Cichlids.
